Linux Journal Demographics

We know that at least a few of you are curious about those other folks.

Do you ever wonder who else reads
Linux Journal? “No” you say? All your best
friends and buddies already have their two-year subscriptions? All
those friends live not necessarily in your neighborhood, but all
over out there in Internet-land?

Well, we know that at least a few of you are curious about
those other folks. (And besides, it's a chance for us to put some
colorful pie charts on this page and dazzle you with
statistics!)

The distribution of Linux Journal as of
the October Buyer's Guide issue was 30,000. Our readers include
subscription-holders as well as those who buy the magazine in
bookstores and other retail outlets.

Of our subscription-holders, 70 percent are in the United
States, and 30 percent are non-US. Inside the U.S., most magazines
get sent to the famous area of the country known as “other”. Our
next-largest subscribership is the state of California with 17
percent. Washington state has a large percentage because we
threaten all of our friends to help keep us employed! We had to put
Washington D.C. on the chart because people are always getting us
mixed up with them.

The non-North America pie shows Great Britian, Germany, and
Asia each at approximately 17%. Australia and New Zealand have a
surprising 7 percent. Miscellaneous Europe lets us know that there
are plenty of people in the Netherlands to go to the International
Linux Symposium which will be held in Amsterdam in December. (See
related story in the Linux Events section, page 10.) Their 14
percent is second only to France's 22 percent.

So, we hope that this gives you a little better picture of
the demographics of Linux Journal subscribers.
Oh, and don't forget to get an extra subscription for your Mom for
her next birthday.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to “bare metal.” After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.

In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
